Along with the above mentioned, I like things such as pepper, celerey salt, and/or A1 steak sauce. Good stuff!

That is great. My nine-year old son and I really enjoyed it!

Like probably most of us, my father. However, in a weird twist, my step-father was an even bigger influence, and taught me many great things about the outdoors that I still treasure and use today. Here comes the twist. Many years later, after my mom gave him the boot, I found out he abused my mom and drugs. I owe a lot to a guy who was really a dirt bag. Wrap you head around that!!

When the winds from the east, the fish bite least. When the winds from the west, the fis bite best. I always thought that was dumb.

I have used braided ice lines this year and have not had any of the issues I see posted.

Ice is fine. Driving all sorts of vehicles everywhere. That being said, I was there last weekend, and the fishing sucked. The storm that rolled through there Thursday night/Friday morning did not help. Only a few pike and pickeral managed to find there way to the topside of the hardwater. I stayed at Glen Echo. The new owners did a very nice job. Drilled all of the holes we could want, and went out of their way to be of service in all respects. Good luck to you this weekend.

Who else wants to see a picture of this! I would be making a trip to the doctors/hospital/clinic.

I can't wait to get there tomorrow!!!!! Plan on tearing up Glen Echo!! Pictures to follow on Monday.

Go treat yourself to some fun at the local rub-&-tug.

Man, you just don't mess with Mother Nature.

Have not been ice fishing in almost 20 years, but took the family up to Gilford on Sunday. First time ever ice fishing for my wife and son. We had a great time! The "jumbos" were few and far between, but the experience was well worth it. Special thanks to Keith at Innisfil Bait and tackle for taking the time to answer all of my questions. Callander Bay is on the schedule for next weekend! Looking to get the family on to some bigger fish!

Theory proved today by me at Gilford. Lots of dinks, with a few jumbos sprinkled in.

I signed up for the update. I can think of a few other "friends" that deserve to get slapped!

License? Isn't it on the back of the car?

There are now two more Cabela's locations right outside of Chicago (Gary, IN and Hoffman Estates, IL). Spent a couple of hours in one over Christmas. Sheer delight.
